CAMPBELL'S COLLEGE ONLINE

Alan Campbell, Our Managing Director and lecturer is a product of World War Two. His father drove a tank into his mother's village in Holland. In attempting to blow up a water tower believing it to be a nest of snipers he missed and put the shell through the upper bed room of his future mother in law. Marriage to the daughter was an obvious result. (The water tower is still there).  After graduating from the University of Kent, Alan Campbell decided to seek adventure in the South Seas. Complications in form filling resulted in his becoming a lecturer in the National Institute of Public Administration in Zambia teaching civil servants, magistrates, police officers and accountants. He became a father, national examiner and political speech writer on the way! What was meant to be a short stay, ended up as twelve years. He returned to the UK in 1984 around the world with his two sons.

Janemaria Hamilton is our Administration Manager, website and IT manager and student advisor. Jane lives in Hertfordshire and through the wonders of the internet manages much of Campbell's administration from our second office.  She has a science background but has been with Campbell's College as Administration Manager since 1996. Spare time is spent renovating a beautiful 18th Century cottage, walking the dog and learning to read ancient Egyptian Hieroglyphs. Congratulations on her recent engagement to a fellow Egyptophile!

Vivien Campbell (Peralta) is our Gibraltar lecturer and co-ordinator for the COFA/DOFA courses that are running successfully in Gibraltar. Along with numerous In-House training courses, she introduced to Gibraltar a wide range of professional qualifications. She is also responsible for Business Law in Practice at the diploma level and Corporate Administration at the professional level. She is a qualified corporate and industrial lawyer that on rare occasions still practices, a Member of the Institute of Legal Executives, Fellow of the London Institute of Commerce and a qualified law lecturer. These qualifications were achieved entirely by distance learning, whilst bringing up her family. She has been with Campbell’s College for 8 years and recently married Alan Campbell.Previous to this she was a lecturer for the Gibraltar Government and an examiner for the ICSA. Her experience gives her an insight into how students approach the examinations. This wealth of experience is now dedicated to helping others achieve their goals.

Jim Skinner, our accounts specialist, was Head of School for Business Studies at a College of Further Education and has many years experience of teaching accounting for professional courses.

Jim is married with three children who you may very well hear in the background when you call for help.
